Edgbaston T20 finals day already a sell-out

Edgbaston’s T20 Finals Day next year has been declared a sell-out – just two weeks after this year’s event took place.

Next year’s finals day, on Saturday, September 5, has seen demand so high that the tickets did not make it on to general sale.

Instead, the initial allocation has been snapped up in the priority access window.

Neil Snowball, Edgbaston stadium chief executive, said: “We’ve worked really hard with the ECB and its tournament partners over the last few years to make Vitality Blast Finals Day an unrivalled experience that can appeal to all supporters of county cricket, young and old. The trusted format of three games in a day and the increased programme of entertainment and activations make it a unique event in the global cricket calendar and one that the cricket fans clearly love and we are seeing a high proportion of ticket purchasers returning year after year.”

The only tickets which will be available are those reserved for the members and supporters of the four semi-final teams, which increased in 2019, while a small allocation of tickets will also be released next summer when the position of the pitch and sightscreens have been confirmed.
